why I let my girlfriend be a cam whore

Disgusting. Despicable. Why would any self respecting human being be a cam whore, and why would any respectable lover let them? That was my attitude a few years ago. Now it's just my girlfriend's job. And she makes good money doing it. So why did I change my mind?

Maybe I've just gotten more perverse, or maybe I've loosened my morals. While I'm not in a position to defend my level of perversity, I assure you that my morals were strong a few years ago, and they are as strong, if not stronger, today. What has certainly changed is my perspective. I've given a lot of thought to life and love and money... and ethics. You might disagree with me on my ethics, I'll bet we have some common ground still.

Whether our societal views on sex come from God, from family, from friends, or simply from society, what I think we can agree on is that these rules and judgments naturally arose from something real. The idea was to keep us safe. After all, I don't think that anyone believes that God just arbitrarily made up commandments, just for the fun of watching us squirm. To the contrary, many biblical rules were quite functional. Eating pig meat really was quite dangerous in those days.

One can surely make a logical, biblical, and ethical argument about why promiscuous sex is wrong. It spreads stds, and leads to unwanted pregnancy. Stds are really getting out of hand. Something like 1 in 4 people have an std at this point. Think of the last 4 random people you met. Which one do you think had the std? I've never watched someone die from aids, but I have watched a friend's whole world change after finding out she had herpes. For her doctor, it was another awkward moment with a patient, and for her, it was all her aspirations of true love, marriage, and children all crumbling before her eyes.

Unwanted pregnancy - in spite of great advances in birth control, and the development of the morning after pill, and the increased information we have available to us - remains out of control. Kids are put up for adoption, forced into the hellish foster care system, and, well, aborted. Pro lifers say that adoption is the solution to everything. Adoption is fine, sometimes. At least it is when the baby gets adopted. The fact is that not every baby gets adopted, and while pro lifers advocate the importance of family, too many children grow up with no family, and instead are neglected and abused by series of foster parents. No one likes abortion. It's an ugly and unfortunate thing. What's troubling to me is that while so many people are fighting for a doomed fetus's right to life, or an unfortunate mom's right to choose, not enough people are fighting to make sure that this sort of thing doesn't happen in the first place.

This brings me to my point. Sex across the internet is safe. It might just be the only safe sex. Not only is it safe, but it's also satisfying. You can get as nasty as you want with a girl you just met, and I promise you that you won't get her pregnant. I promise that she won't give you herpes. If her husband comes home while you're still in bed with her, well it might be awkward, but you're safe and satisfied 1000 miles away. The fact is that having sex online is the solution to all the problems that make sex dangerous.

My girlfriend isn't a bad person. She's a pioneer. She is providing a service. She's fulfilling a need for men that could otherwise be fulfilled in a very unhealthy way. The men leave happy and healthy, and my girlfriend makes some money on it. Later in the night, I take her to bed with full confidence that her body is exactly the way it was that morning.

You might try to make the argument that there's some kind of psychological damage from doing this. There is no data to back up any such claim. For what its worth, my personal observation is that there's no real difference before or after she started modeling. Well, I guess she's happy that she doesn't have to work a 9 to 5.

In conclusion, I'd like to to propose a cure for every std known to man, and simultaneously propose a political theory to reconcile the pro lifers with the pro choicers. 1. Go to your local electronics store. 2. Buy a webcam. 3. The next girl you wanna do it with, tell her to go home and get naked on cam with you. 4. If step three falls through, my gf will be waiting for you.
